It's been a few years since I had been in Super Saver, but until Fareway opened up, Super Saver had the best supermarket meat in west Omaha. Prices were great. OTOH, I can't imagine why ANYBODY would shop at Hy-Vee unless they were picking up Chinese takeout. Sometimes they have decent sales, but more often than not, they are out of stock so you end up leaving without what you came for. And at least with the west Omaha Hy-Vee's, their prices are filling the niche that Albertsons used to fill. (More than once, I've caught items allegedly on sale for more than Bakers' everyday regular price.)

This is too bad. I worked there from 2004-2010. Loved working for Steve Petersen. Quit soon after they moved him to Council Bluffs.

The main U-Haul sign right now is a tarp hung over the front doors. A real sign would be a real start at dressing this old K-Mart up for sure.

Anyone heard any news on super saver in Millard? Looks like U-Haul is in the the K-Mart space. Not sure if this is temporary for U-Haul? I’m hearing Super Saver is on 3 month leases, so not sure if the Menards deal is quite dead yet

I work with someone who does do it. He basically just updates the curb appeal, makes cheap cosmetic improvements and turns it over quickly. Great way to make money at the expense of the buyer. But I don't think an actual homeowner should make upgrades at their own cost. Like you said, nobody should do it because it just won't gain them anything in property value. There's just a certain ceiling that the cookie-cutter type home can reach and it is pretty darn low.

I get the feel Millard isn't as nice as it's made out to be. A lot of cheaply built, poorly maintained houses that could easily sell for under $100,000, decrepit strip malls and other businesses. I have the same feeling about 108th to 132nd and Maple area.

Off topic, but I've always felt areas that have the crappy cookie-cutter type homes will eventually become "low-income" because they just aren't good houses. They will depreciate to the point low-income types will be able to move in and that will be it. It won't happen quickly, but it will happen.

Pretty sure Menards isn't happening

The Menards deal is dead for sure I heard a few days ago. Supersaver is staying put with no plans to leave. They are looking for a long term tenant for K-marts space and currently have had no good offers. There have been some offers but none of them were for at least 3 years which is the minimum they will accept.

Question is, if Menards was buying the old Kmart building wouldn't they buy the old Smacks/Buckys gas station that was on the corner. That gas station has a for sale sign on it right now.

If Super Saver moved to 156th and Q, I wonder if they would build a gas station. There's already a gas station in that plaza, Casey's.

That was at the original store, which was a repurposed WalMart. When they built the new store down the road, it included the lumber yard. I recall the reasoning for not having a lumber yard at the original location being based on pressure from other lumberyards in town, but I don't know if that was simply a rumor.
Pretty sure that that is not a rumor and it was a fact.

I just talked with someone at Menard and yes, since there is no room for the lumber yard it will have to be a rebuild.

May be wrong on this but going from memory it seems this way and Menards uses all the height in a lot of the store footprint.

Unless there is something going on behind the scenes, I don't see why Super Saver would want to move to a smaller retail bay that has been a revolving door for grocery store tenants since it opened.

Super Saver's current location has over 90k sq feet of retail space. The old SunMart/Cub Foods/Bag N Save location has only 80ish thousand square feet.

Two companies out of the same address in St. Louis own the K-Mart and Super Saver lots.

I have neighbors that are geeked out about a close Menards, but I hope they demo that mess and build new, IIRC, they did that on 120th & W Dodge...? But I just have to wonder about Supersaver and what niche they are trying to cater to in the Omaha Market. Granted their Meat Market had a reputation, but their 'lower' prices were hit and miss compared to Hy-Vee and Bakers. I know it's the wrong thread to put this, but since Albertson's left and Kroger took over Bakers... It seems Hy-Vee is killing the Market and now with the Stony Brook Hy-Vee being built here these acres are better served with a Menards and Supersaver at the old Cubs/Sunmarket/B&S will just demise...

Re: Menards (Stony Brook)

I really like the idea of having a Menards out here in Millard and would throw down a little cash in there. Supersaver should just pack it in and go back to Lincoln if they know whats good for them. Supersaver is getting destroyed by the nice HyVee on Stonybrook Blvd. People are just to smart out here in Millard to go to a dump like SuperSaver when a HyVee is close by. If they move to 156th & Q and then they are close to the Hyvee on 180th & Q.Besides I think its safe to say there is some kind of curse on that 156th & Q strip mall with 2 warehouse grocery stores ending bad there already. I hope Supersaver does stay but I can't believe they are that foolish.
